"No matter how paranoid or conspiracy-minded you are, what the government is actually doing is worse than you imagine." - - - William Blum

"It is time that we face the facts of our world. Only when we understand that we must change the corporations, will we create a place our children will want to inherit. We - you and I - must learn to vote through our purchases, insisting that those who run our biggest companies - and through them, our country - abide by principles of democracy and transparency. We must turn a dream that says a few rich people deserve to make all the decisions and most of the profits into a more equalitarian one, a reality that insists on the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.

"I enter 2007 with a renewed commitment to creating a stable, sustainable, and peaceful world, to shopping less and much more consciously, speaking out with a louder, clearer voice, and taking every action I can think of to wake myself and all those I come in contact with up. I commit to enjoying life in ways that will help all the children who will be born in 2007 - for I recognize that my child and her children cannot expect a good life unless every child born today in Indonesia, Nigeria, and Bolivia has the same expectations.

"I commit to holding your hand, asking you to keep me on this path, and urging you to do the same. I look forward to marching with you into 2007. "

I’ve been trying to see the world through their eyes
Where day is night and black is white
Left is Right
Left is Right
Left is Right for me

Put your head in the sand and you'll never know
What's waiting for you in the depths below (below)
Don't believe everything that you read
Take what you want and keep what you need

I’ve been trying to see the world through their eyes
Where day is night and black is white
Left is Right
Left is Right
Left is Right for me
I said Left is Right
Left is Right
Left is Right for me
For me, For me, For Me!

TWISTED NIXON

Written in 1998 after Johnny Punish who was sitting
at the Las Vegas Hilton Sports Book and was hit by
the absurdity of the place. It absorbed him and he
wrote the phrase "LEFT is RIGHT for me" on a drink
napkin. That night in a studio in the seedy back
alleys of Las Vegas, LEFT IS RIGHT was born when
then lead guitarist, Brian Jay Cline, wrote the
clever verses while Twisted Nixon added the melodies.
Sung by Brian Jay Cline, Left is Right is clearly
Twisted Nixon's best ever in terms of a pop anthem.
This song is the most requested song by fans.
Produced by Paul Hampton of The Skeletones
